It's really hard to sum up Pawlooza 2011 in a few paragraphs so I encourage you to go to http://www.pawlooza.com.
I will list a few of the things that we remembered from this wonderful event. The "Pawlooza Organizing Team" including LEADS and ARF Ontario did an amazing job organizing this event. Sponsors from across London and beyond provided great help in staging the event.
Two large ponds for the dogs to swim and dive into
Over a dozen dog rescue organizations which help specific breeds and all breeds
Fun events like face painting and crafts for children who attended with their parents
The main stage with many events geared to helping pet owners and entertaining them.
Kissing Booth for Charity - (You get to kiss a cute dog) - It wasn't so bad, I even did it and then paid my loonie to the pooch.
